Baby hummers for June

There has been more activity at the nest outside our kitchen window this past week. When we looked out yesterday, we watched as a hummingbird appeared to be feeding something in the nest. This picture was taken through the kitchen window:

When the hummingbird flew off, we ran outside to see if there were babies in the nest. Don climbed up on our porch railing…

…and yes, there are two babies in the nest.

June over at Aging Gratefully asked about this nest a couple of times. We’re pretty sure these babies were delivered just for her. ♥

Oh my goodness! I would be over the top excited if I found a nest like this. Very cool! I recently bought two more hummingbird feeders to go with the three I already have and my family is making fun of me saying this is a sure sign of becoming an old lady. 🙂 Great pictures!!!

With that picture you have given me a gift I have never received before and will likely never receive the like of again.
A once-in-a-lifetime sight.
Hummingbirds amaze me for so many reasons. To think that even the little ruby throats we have way up here fly all the way south and all the way across the Gulf of Mexico (I have read that they are sometimes only 18″ above the water there)….astonishing feat for creatures barely three inches tall.
